It is 17 years since I learned to drive. Jesus where has that time gone? My Neighbours youngest son is just learning to drive now and I remember him just being a little kid, so I feel very old!
Driving and cars are my passion and it’s one I share with my Husband and my family – thankfully – so I am always patient and kind to learner drivers out on the road. We ALL learned once.

If there is one thing I truly love as much as red lipstick and handbags, it’s cars. Any way, shape or form. LOVE THEM. Thankfully it is an interesting shared with Mr Tramp.
Previously he had a 2.5l turbo petrol car and with the cost of fuel going up, he bought a diesel car to give greater MPG. I drive a 2.5l petrol 4×4 and for all MPG doesn’t really bother me, I am always keen to look at alternatives such as the Mitsubish PHEV.
With this playing heavy on everyones mind, I have a really interesting infographic for you from Motorparks which will help clue you up!
